Do yourself a favour and get some Canadian Education
Let’s be real, things in Canada right now aren’t exactly rosy. And if you’re here as a Permanent Resident, it doesn’t automatically open doors for you.
It’s time to start maximizing the added benefits your PR avails you beyond just getting a job. There are students and work permit holders who are actively chasing the same opportunities a lot of PRs are ignoring.
“Oh I already have a Master's from the UK”
“I don’t have time for school. I came to Canada to make money”.
But guess what? That window won’t stay open forever. By the time you’re in dire need of it, it might be too late.
So what’s the opportunity? It’s flexible schooling. This route will give you access to:
Canadian education
Local work experience through internships or placements
And most importantly, financial support
If you’re married, a single parent, or have dependents, the government might not only cover your tuition they may help with your cost of living too and also give you access to grants and loans to further your education.
As you navigate the Canadian job market, prioritize having some Canadian certifications in your portfolio.
That’s how you level up.
INSPIRE
“Unlike many immigrants, we got jobs in our respective fields. Our kids have settled into their schools, and I’ve even found time to participate in one of my favourite hobbies—soccer.”
In 2017, Ivy Anigbogu and her husband, Henry, made a decision to leave Nigeria in search of a better future for their family.
In less than a year after their arrival, they quickly blended in and secured giant achievements. Ivy secured her first job within a month, earned her CPA five months after arriving, and settled into a career that matched her skills and dreams. Today, she’s a successful accountant in Toronto.
Her story will show you how they were able to achieve this, despite the many challenges that come with migrating.
